Running out of time in SQE2 mocks feels like a knowledge problem. It almost never is.

The fix is a proper timing plan — minutes allocated to each part of the answer, decided in advance, not figured out under pressure.

For legal writing, for example: 5 minutes to plan and intro, 20 minutes to write, roughly 5 minutes per issue, 5 minutes to conclude and review.

Build a plan like this for every assessment type. Save this and start using it in your next mock. 💛

None of these are groundbreaking. All of them genuinely help.

Planning my week on a Sunday. Protecting call-free days. Treating my inbox like a to-do list instead of letting Slack run my day. Building in actual breaks. Stopping at a reasonable time, on purpose.

The job doesn't get less busy — these are just the systems that stop the busy-ness from running me instead of the other way round.

What helps you stay organised? Genuinely curious 👇

If commercial teams trust legal, it's rarely because of how technically brilliant the advice is.

It's because the process is clear, the response times are predictable, the language is plain, and the advice comes with an actual recommendation rather than just a list of concerns.

In-house lawyers — what's made the biggest difference for you? 👇

Every department thinks they’re the most important department. Only one of them is right about the legal points though. 😌

How to actually tell if an in-house role is right for you — before you say yes.

Three things matter more than people give them credit for: the scope of the work, the lifestyle the role really offers (not just on paper), and the industry fit.

I once took an in-house role where the scope was so narrow I was losing my mind within months. Not because the work was bad — it just wasn't varied enough for how I like to work.

Save this. Use it before your next interview. 💛

The contract clauses I focus on most as an in-house SaaS lawyer — specifically when reviewing customer contracts where we're the supplier.

Liability. Super caps. Indemnities. Warranties.

The common thread across all four: proportionality and scope. Anything outside your control, anything uncapped, anything where the remedy is disproportionate to the breach — those are the things that quietly create real commercial exposure.

(And yes — termination for convenience by the customer is almost always a no.)
In-house SaaS lawyers — what would you add to this list? 👇

The candidates who pass SQE2 confidently don’t all do the same things — but they do all do these three:

Active recall of the FLK — not re-reading, not highlighting. Actual retrieval.Consistent mock practice — timed, reviewed, repeated.Structures memorised cold for every assessment type — automatic on exam day.
Not theory. Not “tips.” The actual habits I see again and again in the people who come out the other side smiling.

If your prep doesn’t include all three — that’s the gap. Save this and use it.
